If the pilot MFRC effort is successful, we envision establishment of additional RCs on a forest basis in Montana. In that event, the MFRC, in its present or modified form, will act as the oversight committee for all RCs, and its tasks will include:

- Endorses and facilitates new forest level Restoration Committees.

- Working with the Fiscal Agent and partner organizations on funding, convening, and related issues.

- Augmentation of RC members if needed to assure balance.

- Initiation and formation of potential addition of RCs in the future.

- Decisions regarding interface with political leadership.

- Outreach to other groups and interests.

- Interfacing with USFS at regional and Forest level.

- Annually reviewing of the results of the process to achieve the goals as outlined in the Preamble.

- Consider and establish appropriate tenure, and whether or not to use staggered terms for RC members.

The MFRC, will address the above tasks, unless they have been delegated to the Steering Committee.
